Barwon Valley Lodge

We stayed at Barwon Valley Lodge for 7 days over the Christmas period and I must say we were pleasantly surprised. The Apartments are spacious, have a fully equiped kitchen, washing machine and dryer. The beds and pillows are very comfortable (so comfortable that I thought I was waking up at home). The owners are very friendly ensuring you have a good stay. The grounds are really beautiful and each Apartment has a large space for parking.
The Apartment is very clean, absolutely spotless! It has to be one of the cleanest place we have ever stayed at. Could not fault anything, it was perfect. Its a hidden Gem and would definetely stay here again!

Very spacious, quiet location,
excellent value, feeling more like being in the countryside than a city, with easy access to the main road. So lucky to have found this place, with really helpful, friendly staff. We will be returning soon.

Good location, clean rooms with a full kitchen, coffee pods machine, laundry, and pretty much all the amenities you need when going away with the family.

The property has a heated pool with a spa, a tennis court (rackets available from reception), a kids' playground, as well as a lake with a tinny paddle boat.

Only stayed for one night, but will definitely stay again.

Just what we needed for a week! Clean, comfortable, well priced. All contact with staff was friendly and approachable.
Will definitely be staying again!

Pros:
- Great joint with an outdoor seating area, a backyard, spacious living space and separate dining.
- The whole apartment looked like it had been recently steam cleaned because the carpet looked almost brand new!
- Overall, very cleanly kept!
- Location was great too - not right in the middle of the city, which gave them plenty of space for backyards for each apartment, a playground and a pond too!
- Free parking available right outside rooms.

Cons:
- The carpet steam cleaning may not have been left to dry properly, so the apartment had a bit of a dank smell.
- Air con didn't really work - it was just blowing air, rather than cooling even on 18 degrees.
- Toilet flush had no pressure, so had to wait 20 mins between flushes, which is inconvenient when 4 people all need to go in the morning.

What a wonderful stay at Barwon Valley Lodge! Set in spacious, lush green surrounds, it felt Iike a tranquil oasis with access to tennis court, swimming pool, bbq area. Our 2 year old loved the 2 playgrounds and seeing the ducks, birds in the pond. Our 2 bedroom apartment was modern, clean and had everything we needed for our stay including a fully equipped kitchen and laundry. Finally, service was exceptional, with great staff and super friendly owners. Highly recommend!

Fantastic place for a weekend getaway. Very friendly and helpful service. The place was spotless.

Fantastic place to stay! Super clean and comfortable units.perfect for a small family! Will definitely plan another trip in future.

Absolutely awesome place to stay.

Didn't get a chance to utilise outside amenities, as only stayed 1 night, so can only comment on the unit.

Firstly wow! Very well furnished + very neat, clean, tidy. Also very spacious.

Fully self contained unit.
Kitchen with fridge, stove + even a dishwasher. Also had a clothes washer and dryer.

Ooh and your very own Nespresso coffee machine.

Reverse cycle aircons in every room + electric blankets on all beds for those ooh soo cold Geelong nights.

Would be a superb place to stay for a family if you had the little ones in tow as well.
